| I feel dupped by the chevy corp. there are so many luminas in my area alone that have this peeling problem i have never seen anything like it. this is not an aging problem as chevy is trying to convince everyone, it does not have any thing to do with the age of the car because the paint that is remaining is new looking and very shiny. i have seen aging paint that cracks. this is a bubble & peeling problem, mostly in a verticle direction. it is a distinct look. in one week i saw 3 white luminas with the same problem. how dare chevy not take responsiblity for an inferior product. a simple paint job would service all complaints. i happen to like my lumina but i would never buy a chevy product ever ever again and my peeling lumina is a advertisement for an inferior product. i hope everyone that sees my car gets a clear message of what type of product chevy makes. your company is certainly aware of this paint problem because i see many cars in my area alone with this exact problem. what a disgrace for chevy to get away with this. i am embarassed to ride in my car!!!!!!! | |||

| Thwindshield wipers just stop working one day so i had the wiper motor replaced and after that they worked for like 2 sec and died again. i have a friend who has the same car and the same thing happend so i was wondering if there was a recall on it or maybe someone needs to know so they can make a recall because it's very dangerous. then for the side mirror one day i was driving and it just broke off for no reason, and it seems that every three out of four luminas i see there side mirrors are broken off. dri9ve down the road and look one day you'll see for your self it's a known fact about the cars.*ak | |||
